On the coat and a big red stripe runnin...

1st Salesman: Well, I don't know much about bands but I do know you can't make a living selling big trombones, no sir.

Mandolin picks, perhaps and here and there a Jew's harp...

2nd Salesman: No, the fellow sells bands, Boys bands. I don't know how he does it. But he lives like a king and he dallies

And he gathers and he plucks and shines and when the man dances, certainly boys, what else? The piper pays him! Yes sir, yes

Sir, yes sir, yes sir, when the man dances, certainly boys, what else? The piper pays him! Yessssir, Yessssir

Charlie: But he doesn't know the territory!
